One of my L&R's and 1851's - I have since removed the cylinder scene from the L&R - both are Cimarron Arms Uberti's
-
Very nice 1851...I shot a big doe a few years back with mine.
DBar
-
One of a pair - have about a dozen or so various 1851's, 1862's, etc plus my 36 caliber Walker. Sort of a magnum Navy
-
JW, I absolutely love that picture if your rifle and buck.
-
I was hoping we'd get a MLboard!
Mine was a gift from John and sally Kelly, mother Dave, terry and Gordon.
Tennessee long rifle. John's first powder horn from 1966. And a slick leather Quigley sleeve.

I have never posted pictures of my first build because it is "rough", lots of mistakes.
I started with this;
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v181/ekrewson/beck%20rifle/Beckparts.jpg) (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/ekrewson/media/beck%20rifle/Beckparts.jpg.html)
And ended up with this, it took me almost 2 years to complete because I would get lost and not know how to proceed;

I got better on my next build, an English Fowler, I only worked on it for a year. I got better at taking pictures of them as well. 12ga, 38" jug choked Colerain barrel,English round face lock from Chambers, walnut stock blank from Dunlap.

My latest project is to turn this random pile of TC Renegade parts into a complete flintlock rifle. I couldn't find a TC lock so I ordered a L&R drop in lock.

JW Them are some sweet smoke poles
Eric Beautiful work
Thanks Leroy
-
This is Bob's (Chamookman)gun. I let him explain it.
-
Here's what I have, nothing fancy except the William Large cap and ball.
-
Nice smoke poles everyone. Eddie, is the 2 tone stock walnut? It sure looks sharp.
-
Thanks Pearly ! Mines a Trade Gun - .62cal/20ga. smooth bore. Was a kit gun from Pedersoli - pretty basic, but fun to get My feet wet. This is My first flinter - in the past, I've had a couple of Caplocks. A .45cal. Kentucky and a 32.cal Crockett for Tree Rats. I feel a .45cal Flintlock "Poor Boy" build is in My future tho ;). Bob

Something so appealing about a smooth .62 flinter. Utilitarian in the extreme. Yes it has limitations, but it makes a better hunter of you and covers about everything.

Kind sounds like primitive archery to me..............
-
Nice one, Bob, I treat that double 12 like a smooth bore, buckshot in one barrel and a .69 cal. roundball in the other.
Nice smoke poles everyone. Eddie, is the 2 tone stock walnut? It sure looks sharp.
Pat, I'm pretty sure it is Walnut. I got the gun in trade for a '60 Bear Kodiak. It's Italian made.
-
Ever use that 12ga. on Turkeys Eddie ? Bob
-
I haven't yet, Bob, I have a low serial number, Ray Eyes, White Tominater I use turkey hunting.
-
Heck I'm kinda embarrassed to even show mine, its a .45 juker i traded a few hours work for. The original owner browned it and put the stock on didn't do any shaping at all and it was beat up and filthy but i cleaned it up and did what i could with the stock. All that matters is it hits where i aim but she ain't a looker that's for sure😜 I'll get some pics of my inlaws flinters and pistolas(http://i623.photobucket.com/albums/tt320/bubncheryl/Mobile%20Uploads/20161212_162819_HDR_zps3ll18ns9.jpg) (http://s623.photobucket.com/user/bubncheryl/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20161212_162819_HDR_zps3ll18ns9.jpg.html)

I like it, Bubby. I'd be worried sick if I hunted with one of those real pretty ones and got it scratched up in the sawtooth palmetto and thorny vines down here. My old guns got lots of nicks and bruises on them.
-
Thanks for sharing all these beautiful guns
sitting here enjoying them and remembering the ones that I have had
longing to have a couple of them back but glad they were good enough to get the bills payed
now boys them smokepoles was made fur using so get at it
-
Thanks Eddie, maybe one day I'll get a nicer one but like you said I'm not worried about scratching her up
-
Man I've been waiting for this forum.
I got into blackpowder this year when Pappy showed me how to make a powder horn. This is the one I made (with some expert help of course)
Also here's the horn with my primitive pack, it's an old British Army Rucksack.
I decided to finally start off with a Kentucky Pistol from Traditions so the first thing I did after getting everything fit together was stain the wood and seal it.
-
Then I went to a yard sale and found a 70's or early 80s TC Hawken (with a scope, ewww.)
It took forever to clean it up but it shoots straight, here it is with my pistol.
Also I tried putting the sights on the pistol and majorly screwed them up so I decided to round them off and made it look "authentic" (not really)
They're fun to shoot though.
I have a stock from a CVA Hawken that I'm going to get a flintlock and flintlock barrel for next year.
Now I just need something in a .32 that doesn't cost $600!
-
I wish I had some pics of a friends guns, a mutual friend is a gunsmith and made him and his wife a matching pair of period swedish snaplock muskets that are absolutely beautiful.
